After nearly a century, time has run out for Cedar Grove. Its lease with the city expired today, a day made even grayer by the rain.

"There have been a lot of hugs, handshakes and kisses," said Wood, the beach club president. "It’s time to move on. The weather seems appropriate."

As their final hours waned, they gathered for a farewell barbecue — grilling anything left in their freezers.

Edith Holtermann pulled the remaining produce from her garden. Mick Kenny looked out over the water from his back deck. Jennifer Fitzgerald-Young stood on her porch with her daughter, Elizabeth, at 9 months, Cedar Grove’s youngest resident. Eric Lesnick hoisted his 5-year-old daughter, Lillianna, in his arms.

"We will miss you," she scribbled on a bungalow wall.

Here are more photos from the final day:
